Todd (nolemmings)but I don't know if that tells me what to expect inside the pack--a card (t205 or t206), disk or coin, once I've determined that the pack is authentic and properly dated.
(Also, I really was trying to put myself back to 1911, when the packs were fresh, so you really didn't need to worry if they were from the right era).
Your list sparked a thought however. Looking at a half-dozen or so P2 pins here at work, I see they are all from Factory 42, NC, except for the Large Letters pin, which is from Factory 25, VA. Maybe the pins were not available in the NY factory packs, although obviously, my sample size is woefully too small to tell. I'll pull out the few domino disks I have and see if similar informaion is available on them---- I see from Lipset's book and the SCD guide that the backs state a NY factory. Maybe disks in NY and pins elsewhere.
Can any advanced collectors of these issues offer any info?
